Well said, Do You. I could have written it myself. I was a Bonus subscriber through December, started when they offered it, when I still 'got it' apparently. Not sure which malcontent you are, but there have been some who dared critique the Bonus Shows and were banned from the Klub. I'm sure I've read your stuff before.
1. Apart from your points about the Bonus Show, another negative that they and the Klubbers don't get is, once again, the lack of effort or preparation. Last year, and maybe back farther, it was so obvious that the Bonus Show was just another hour long chore. One day a week "we're doin' two!" Oh boy. You could almost hear LFF looking at his watch, counting off the minutes for the hour to be up as he bloviated about... usually the same shit he bloviated about on the regular show. Bonus? Special? Fuck no.
2. I've said this before: many people hate the games they play or played on the Bonus Shows, and sometimes I hated them, too. But they showed pre-show effort and preparation, and again, they WERE NOT THE SAME AS THE FREE SHOW. The first year or two, they did some interesting things on the Bonus Shows. Some worked, some didn't, but they were interesting attempts.
3. There were about 5 2%-er threads in the Klub yesterday, and some folks making strong arguments that the dropoff in Bonus subscriptions was not financial, but symbolic of the falloff in effort and quality (as you said you cancelled to make a point). In terms of the daily show, someone mentioned the lack of effort and radio format rigidity, using Patton's appearance as a great example. Look, I don't have an MBA, but why could no one formulate doing the same rigid show to please kcjj and to give folks a taste (if they felt they must), then just keep rolling for a truly special Bonus Show. And not cut THAT off at an hour? Must not have been their day to record the Bonus Show.
